Counselling in LS16
Reaching out for help takes courage, particularly if your self-esteem and confidence are low. But, if you want to make changes in your life then you may need support. People come to counselling for all sorts of reasons; anxiety, relationship issues, depression, bereavement, trauma etc. Perhaps you feel inhibited, have unhealthy patterns of behaviour or your emotions may be hijacking your ability to respond and keep perspective. Whatever the reason, the chances are you are feeling deeply distressed. You don’t have to keep struggling alone. Together we can work out what is causing you to feel threatened, overwhelmed or empty.

As a therapist, I offer a non-judgemental and friendly space for you to talk about the things that can be tricky to think about alone, or share with loved ones. I will work with you to explore whatever difficult experiences or feelings you are struggling with. My goal is to help clients find more joy and peace by creating space for understanding, acceptance and change.

Are you the woman who once had fire in her eyes but now feels lost in the endless cycle of work, school runs, and being everything to everyone except yourself?
You've done everything "right" – the career, the family, the nice house – yet something HUGE is missing. That wild, fierce woman you were when you dreamt about who you’d be as an excited little girl.
Exhausted by the constant grind of being everyone's everything
Feeling disconnected from who they were before family, work and before life got into lifeing.
Ready (truly ready) to dismantle limiting beliefs about womanhood

I know that seeking out a counsellor can be no easy task, and if you're reading this it's possible that you may have just had enough with feeling the way that you do. Sometimes we all need support in finding a way through, and in offering that support I bring the depth of my expertise and experience as a counsellor. I work with warmth, compassion and integrity, and a genuine desire to help a person tackle the particular difficulties facing them (see my video below). As a therapist I have some 20 years experience in supporting clients of all ages and from diverse backgrounds.

You might turn to therapy for a number of reasons: having faced a life-changing event: trauma, bereavement, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or low self- esteem. You may struggle with functioning day to day, or feel overwhelmed by feelings and emotions that you don’t understand. Past life events can also get in the way of living your life in the present moment, and you may struggle to connect with others and feel isolated. Perhaps you feel as though no one really listens, or understands what you are going through. This is where confidential help and support in the form of therapy could be the answer.

Hi, I'm Jess. I'm a friendly and down-to-earth therapist helping people to navigate psychological distress. I have extensive experience working in an NHS GP practice, and my approach is guided by scientifically validated, peer-reviewed research.
Whether you’re swamped by a sense of hopelessness, exhausted from constant rumination, or struggling with low self-worth, I can help. Lots of people come and see me because they aren't the person they once were and are too overwhelmed to know where to start or how to fix it.
I have experience working with neurodiversity, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and difficult life events.

Do you feel ripped apart and shaken to your core? You don't want to be a burden to your friends and you can't talk to family, it's all so overwhelming. The deepest pit of despair and hurt, mixed emotions, anguish, anger, confusion, barely coping with intense non- stop life changes. Loss of family, partner or treasured friend, sudden or chronic illness, even loss of the person you used to be! Aging, guilt about lifestyle, fear of a new job and moving... the prickly heartache from losing your beloved pet. You don't even have the strength to take the next step, to pull yourself through while trying to reach your old self.
